I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.
Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

Did that as well recently, but with used chip fat from my deep fryer. It worked remarkably well, but once it had burnt down, I just thought "this is minging, what was I thinking?"
(FWIW, as long as you don't leave it standing around until it goes rancid, you could use it for stir-frying stuff etc., or anything that calls for a splash of vegetable oil... much the same thing as "slice of bread deep-fried in it" but not quite as heart-attacky)
